That Ovation TV picked up the latest season of Murdoch Mysteries is fabulous news unto itself. What makes it even better is the scheduling: Season 13 premieres on Ovation on Saturday, February 1, with back-to-back episodes, followed by Murdoch double-headers every Saturday for the entire season.

Based on Maureen Jennings’s popular “Detective Murdoch” series of novels, Murdoch Mysteries follows Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson), a methodical detective who employs radical forensic techniques, from fingerprinting to ultraviolet light, while investigating murders in late 1890s and early 1900s Toronto. Murdoch also enlists the help and expertise of his lovely wife, Dr. Julia Ogden (Hélène Joy), as he and his colleagues, including Inspector Thomas Brackenreid (Thomas Craig), Constables George Crabtree (Jonny Harris) and Henry Higgins-Newsome (Lachlan Murdoch), and Detective Llewelyn Watts (Daniel Maslany), work tirelessly to tackle Toronto’s toughest mysteries, from the serious and historic, to the comical and unusual.

In the new season, Murdoch demonstrates that he is still ahead of his time by inventing the “searchizer,” an innovative device that measures facial features and matches them with existing police files. And his detective’s sensibilities keep him suspicious about and distrustful of the coroner, Violet Hart (Shanice Banton). In other happenings, the station gets a new team member: Special Constable Robert Parker (Marc Senior, The Gourmet Detective), an African American former Pinkerton who helped solve a union murder after being a suspect.

Below is Ovation’s schedule for Season 13’s episodes. Each week the first episode airs at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT, followed by the second at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT.
